Xperia S software update really slow

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 16:28:22 GMT

I'm finally able to update my phone software from 6.0.A.3.67 to .71 or whatever the latest software is, which is apparently supposed to take about 30 minutes, but I've now given up for the second time after having my phone plugged into my netbook for 8 hours! The first time I tried it was plugged in for about 3 1/2 hours, both times it just gets stuck on the 'prepare' bit, the status bar gets to the end, but just sits there. What can I do to get this update? Thanks.

I've just checked and the latest software I can get is 6.0.A.3.75, not .71.

Thanks for those suggestions, I'll give them a go.

once it's available you can flash back to your original firmware and use PCC or SUS to update to ICS
